How is a light bulb made and what are the steps involved in its manufacturing process?

A light bulb is made by first creating a glass bulb, then adding a filament and gases inside. The manufacturing process involves shaping the glass, adding the filament, sealing the bulb, and filling it with gases. Finally, the bulb is tested and packaged for sale.


Why is the filament inside an electric lamp made very fine?

The filament is fine so that its electrical resistance can be quite high. It is also long, for the same reason. Usually it is coiled up to fit the length in the lamp. The heating effect of electric current is proportional to the current squared, time the resistance (I*I*R). Most of the effect is due to the current. The current through the filament must be limited to stop it melting. Adding resistance will do that. Taking resistance away increases heating. So, a low energy lamp has a very thin filament and a high energy lamp will have a thicker filament.
